3.1.1 Description

This section provides information on taking an executable file and using the AISgen tool to convert it to a bootable image.

This section does not apply to C6748 devices.

A simple test program is used that repeatedly blinks the LEDs on the OMAP-L138 EVM after booting.

The SOC design requires the Arm core to be in supervisor mode to configure pin multiplexing (PINMUX) registers. The TI Arm toolchain configures the core in user mode during initialization so the Arm application needs to include a boot.asm source file to change the Arm execution state to supervisor mode. This file should be included in all projects that need to access certain SYSCFG registers and require supervisor mode.
